Turning around, he saw a figure fly out from the darkness. It was a very tall girl dressed in green. A closer look showed that he didn’t seem to be a human, though she had a form resembling a human, her skin was a dark blue, almost black color, blending in well with the darkness behind her.
Demon? But there was no demonic aura on her. All three of them were stunned, unable to make clear of the identities of the newcomers.
That person flew over, took a look at them and abruptly widened her eyes in surprise. After dazing for two seconds, she suddenly became slightly bewildered then turned back and shouted out, “Senior… Senior… Senior Sister. Come quickly! Come over fast. I found two living ones!”
“Why are making such a fuss?” A berating voice snapped from behind her, following that, three to four more figures flew over, still saying, “How many people have we found already, is there a need… huh?” That person paused, seeming to be shocked after glancing in their direction and continued to stare.
“Senior Sister this…” The person who was the first to appear looked back at the lady in the middle who seemed to be their leader.
That person then came back to her senses and promptly rushed. “Why are you still standing there? Quickly bring them over!”
The few people behind her then snapped into action, quickly stepping forward while conjuring spells, instantly a spell they’d never seen before appeared under their feet.
Yi Qing frowned, just as he was about to conjure a seal, Lonemoon held him back from beside him and sent a voice transmission, “Wait! These people are a little odd, let’s wait and see first!”
Chef then lowered his hand, the array formation under their feet flashed, both of them felt their weight disappear as they instantly flew to the opposite side, turns out it was only a soaring spell. They were instantly relieved. Yi Qing habitually turned back to look at Shen Ying behind. “Master!”
Sure enough, as expected, there was no array formation under her feet, she was still in the same spot…
“Huh? There’s another one!” The blue-skinned people seemed to only have discovered Shen Ying then and used another spell to pull her over too.
The spot that they were in happened to be the border of light and darkness, with these spells, all three of them had been completely pulled into the area swallowed up by the darkness.
“Senior Sister, what do we do now?” A disciple asked.
The lady leading in the middle surveyed the surroundings, then glanced at the trio before saying. “We’ll take them back to base before anything else.”
With that said, she directly lifted Shen Ying who was the closest to her, bringing her up on her sword and flew into the darkness.
Upon seeing that, the few others also summoned their spirit swords. Seeming like they did not notice that they had cultivation too, two of them walked to Lonemoon and Young Master and very politely cupped their fists, saying, “I’m sorry, young master!”
They reached out and scooped them onto their swords and flew up.
Lonemoon glanced at the arm wrapped around him, seeming to preventing him from falling off. For some reason, all sorts of weird feelings rose in his heart.
Something feels off somewhere…
The further in they flew, the darker it became, but this did not have much impact on high leveled cultivators. These odd looking people also seemed to have night vision, completely unimpeded. They did not fly for long, in less than 15 minutes, they landed on an empty space.
With one look, Lonemoon saw that there were several dozens of people scattered and standing around. A closer look showed that there were all the old, weak, women and children, all their expressions didn’t look good, vaguely coupled with some bleakness.
These female cultivators landed and joined the crowd with them. The group of people looked up, their eyes lighting up immediately. Without any bit of fear, they even gathered over excitedly.
“The immortal masters are back!” They looked at the few people who had brought them back in joy and asked anxiously. “Immortal masters, when can we leave?”
“Yeah, immortal masters, it’s too dangerous here, please bring us away quickly.”
“If we continue to wait on, who knows the fallen night might return again!”
“Yes yes, time is tight.”
These people all looked panicked, as if they were very afraid of something.
The leader lady who had brought Shen Ying with her earlier than took a step forward and said, “No need to worry, the Dawning Pill Sect came here with the intention of saving everyone, once the people sent by the sect to receive us arrives, we will bring everyone to a safe place. Besides Fallen Night does not turn back, it has already passed, so nothing will happen again.” The lady looked across the crowd and went on, “This time, the affected range is very wide, we need to search the nearby areas a few more times, so as to avoid leaving anyone out! I ask that everyone stay calm.”
The crowd’s expressions then eased up and they quietened down too. Those odd-looking female cultivators then dispersed, some continued to turn back, looking for something, others started setting up array formations in the surroundings.
Lonemoon frowned and had a discussion with Yi Qing using voice transmission, before they managed to guess the current situation. It was evident that those people who brought them here had no ill intention, accurately speaking, it was out of good will. Some disaster might have just occurred here and these female cultivators were cultivators from a sect, here to help with the emergency. That was why they took them for refugees and brought them here!
However, no one knew why their appearance was so odd? Earlier on, while they were on their way, he had also examined, these cultivators weren’t human cultivators but neither were they demons, they seemed to be cultivating species never seen before. But judging by the reactions of these mortals, they didn’t seem to find anything wrong with these blue-skinned people? Instead, they were very trusting.
As he was in his thoughts, a female cultivator suddenly walked over with a chair in each hand. Smiling kindly at him, she placed the chairs before them. “Young Masters must have been frightened earlier, why don’t you take a seat first?” With that said, she even turned and glanced at Yi Qing, it was very obvious that the chairs were meant for both of them.
Lonemoon faltered, bowing down to glance at the chairs, feeling instantly stupefied, why were they so courteous only to Chef and him?
He subconsciously turned to look at the big group of elderly, sickly, women and children but found that everyone merely took a curious glance and turned back as if it was natural and right. As if that was nothing wrong with these cultivators’ acts of giving chairs to only them.
He paused and could only reply politely. “Thank you, Miss.”
“No… no problem!” The girl blushed instantly and laughed naively. “Quickly sit down Young Master, we still don’t know when the spirit boat will arrive, please rest for a while.” With that said, she smiled again then turned and left.
Lonemoon used his divine perception to examine the chair, finding nothing abnormal, he then sat into it. Whereas Chef beside him, habitually took a step to the side and turned behind. “Master, sit!” And he even brought out a plate of pastries, handing it over.
“Okay.” Shen Ying subconsciously took it, picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth then turned and sat down.
In the next moment, the crowd that was still bustling earlier suddenly went silent.
Several dozen disapproving gaze fell onto her at once. As if she had done something that incurred the wrath of both gods and humans, everyone who was still amiable earlier instantly looked at her with unhappiness and… despise? It was the same for the few cultivators.
Huh?
Shen Ying: “…”
Was she not allowed to eat cake?
Shen Ying faltered, suddenly the Spirit Qi in the air shifted, someone exclaimed.
“It’s here! The receiving spirit boat is here!”
